The Dubai property market in August 2025
In August 2025 the Dubai Land Department registered 16,607 residential sales worth AED 37.8bn — 15% more than in August 2024, when it registered 14,418, and 9% more by value. Most were homes not yet built: 12,504 off-plan against 4,103 completed. A completed home changed hands at a median AED 1.50M, AED 1,355 a square foot — 11% more a foot than in August 2024.

August 2025 against the twelve months before it

Completed homes
What a completed home sold for in August 2025
Resales of completed homes, by layout — a layout prints at ten sales. Off-plan is kept out: a launch price is a developer’s schedule, not a market, and the month’s off-plan sales have their own line beside the table.
| Layout | Sales | Median price | AED/sqft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 667 | AED 553K | 1,261 |
| 1 B/R | 1,281 | AED 980K | 1,266 |
| 2 B/R | 864 | AED 1.85M | 1,366 |
| 3 B/R | 421 | AED 3.27M | 1,653 |
| 4 B/R | 133 | AED 4.13M | 1,432 |
| 5 B/R | 23 | AED 4.90M | 1,073 |
Medians of what buyers paid at transfer, never an asking price. Each is a month’s sales, so a layout’s figure moves with which buildings happened to sell as well as with prices; the year-long reading of the same register is on Dubai property prices.
- Registration days
- 21, 1 August to 29 August. The busiest was 11 August: 1,163 sales, AED 2.2bn.
- Off-plan

A community counts the sales of every building and villa project in it that has a page here. A sale the register files where we have no page — a plot, a tower not yet placed — is in the month’s total and in neither table. The busiest table’s price is completed homes only, so a community that sold nothing but launches has none; the dearest table ranks completed homes alone.

Every sale the tower registered in the month. The price is its median a square foot where it sold one kind of home — off-plan or completed — and a dash where it sold both, because the two are never averaged together. All 15 sold only off-plan in August.

Apartments and villas as the register files them. A house registered with its plot is filed as land, so a mansion can be missing here; it is read apart, with every year’s record since 2015, on the most expensive homes sold in Dubai. A home with no page here is named by the Land Department’s area.
Questions people ask
The Dubai property market in August 2025, answered
How many properties were sold in Dubai in August 2025?
16,607 residential sales were registered at the Dubai Land Department in August 2025, worth AED 37.8bn: 12,504 off-plan and 4,103 completed homes. That is 15% more than in August 2024, when 14,418 were registered. The count is of transfers the Land Department registered in the month; mortgage registrations, gifts, lease-to-own conversions, developers' own filings and transfers recorded at a fraction of what a home sells for are left out, because none of them is a price a buyer paid.
What was the most expensive home sold in Dubai in August 2025?
The dearest apartment or villa registered was an AED 81M off-plan four-bedroom home at Orla by Omniyat, Palm Jumeirah — 10,791 sq ft at AED 7,544 a square foot, registered on 20 August. Next came AED 80M at Orla by Omniyat, Palm Jumeirah, and AED 80M at Orla by Omniyat, Palm Jumeirah. A house registered with its plot is filed as land rather than as a villa, so it is read apart, on the page for the most expensive homes sold in Dubai.
Which area of Dubai had the most property sales in August 2025?
Business Bay, with 1,501 registered sales, 1,293 of them off-plan; then Jumeirah Village Circle (1,464) and Dubai Investment Park (DIP) (900). The dearest, by the median price of a square foot of completed home, was Dubai Harbour at AED 3,649 across 21 resales. A community counts every building and villa project in it that has a page here.
The same register read as a year rather than a month: what every community and building sells for now is Dubai property prices, and how far prices have moved since 2020 is the Dubai property price index. Rents are read from the Ejari register as a year, with a new lease kept apart from a renewal, on Dubai rent prices.
